Early in the morning I'll come calling
I'll come calling after you
Darling, if you answer, oh, we'll wander
Down the garden where it's cool
Later we'd discover all in covers
Children silent as the stars
Early in the morning, in the morning
Everything at once is ours
Early in the morning I'll come calling
I'll come calling after you
Though you seldom answer
Still I wonder what will pass here when you do
Delicate in grasses, bright and ashen
Breathing sweet a ruby nest
Early in the morning, in the morning
Withered, singing we will rest
Early in the morning, in the morning
I will call for you even though the words aren't clear
Even if my voice seems cruel
Early in the morning, in the morning, red and almost true
Dressing in my finest suit
My cleanest shoes
Making sure the flowers are true
Pressed and fresh and blue
